Bacterial Pneumonia




Macie continued with a fever over the weekend. She spent just about all day yesterday in our arms with no energy. When her temp would get over 100 she would break out in a rash. We took her in to our local pediatrician who looked her over and then sent us over to the hospital for a chest x-ray ........... the results Bacterial Pneumonia. After Macie's doctor here talked with the transplant team in STL they all decided she can stay at home on an antibiotic. We are blessed to have such a great team caring for Macie.

Macie started feeling better late afternoon. She ate well and spent the rest of the evening dancing, playing with ELMO, and tossing snow balls (socks) at me. It was so good to see her smile and play!

Macie will need to stay in over the holiday. So we will be missing all the family get togethers. I would LOVE to have her all dressed-up in her Christmas outfit complete with matching bracelet celebrating. But, we will stay home and read the Christmas Story and The Night Before Christmas in our PJ's. We are just thankful to be able spend Christmas together, at home.

Merry Christmas
